For many people, travel is vital. They allow them to reboot, fully relax and gain strength. I also adore traveling. Exploring the world is so great and interesting. In the summer, we are planning a family vacation at sea. I believe that sea water and air positively affect human health and condition in general. When booking hotels, we always choose all-inclusive. Many would agree that it is the best kind of recreation. Thanks to beachluxuryvacations.com, we have been booking the best apartments on the U.S. coast for several years.
In American work culture, there's a sense that you don't have a valid excuse to take time off if you aren't using your PTO to do something special. Half the point of traveling is just to give yourself a socially acceptable excuse to not be at work.
Unfortunately, people in many work settings would fee weird asking for a week off so that they could relax and recharge at home. "I'm requesting a week of PTO so that I can go to Italy" somehow feels more justified.
I have mixed opinions about this statement because it's both great and terrible at the same time. What I mean is that Travelling is time-consuming. Instead of doing things at home, you spend long hours sitting in your car, on the bus, on the plane, waiting at the airports, railway, or bus stations, or just trying to find your way. But also, connecting to other cultures gives you a more well-rounded perspective on the world. That perspective can positively impact every area of your life. I had these thoughts before heading to Broadbeach hotels.
Of course, if you have such a wonderful place where you live and a lake, and a beautiful park, and a cosy house, and wonderful neighbors, then you probably don't want to leave there anywhere. If I were you, I wouldn't put up with long flights and queues at the airport either. But not all people live in such picturesque places. Many people have small apartments in a noisy and dusty metropolis, so they need fresh sea air and beautiful nature to relax from the city bustle. Well, I have a different situation, whether I want to go on a trip or not, I have to do it. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to leave home, but I make an effort, because I have children waiting for me in Africa. And so, as you probably already understand, I'm a volunteer. You can look at this blog penwellsafaris.com/blog/gift-ideas-to-bring-on-africa-safari-kids-guides/ and see that African children really need your help. And if you have the opportunity to give them some school supplies or clothing, you can do it. Kindness will save the world.
You can mentor troubled youth in the city you live in. You don't need to go through the charade of pretending that your vacations are virtuous and necessary to save the world.
I think the issue is that some people turn travel into a religion, sacred above all else.
But It's just a vacation. Some people like to sit at home and watch TV. Some people like to go camping locally. Some people like to fish locally. Some people like to keep working and buy nice stuff. It's just a personal preference. But travel cultists don't see it like that. And they don't want you to see it like that either.
But if you travel with kids, staying in the same hotel room, the vacation is a time when you won’t be having sex until you get back home.
Totally. My family all went to Hawaii this past spring, and it was the most painful feeling to have to settle for a platonic cuddle with my wife at the end of each day because our bed was about five feet from our kiddos'.
Flash forward to this summer when we were lucky enough to visit Europe. In a few of the towns we explored, my wife booked nice-ish hotel rooms with doors between the bedrooms, and we managed to have more sex while traveling than we have at home. It made all the difference for me. Travel with small kids is hard, annoying, amazing, and exhausting, but being able to connect sexually with my wife at the end of some of these long days was such a joy and cast a real glow over the experience and my memory of it.
All that said, like the OP, I love where I live: I love my home, my neighbors, my backyard, my food, my running routes, my habits, etc.--so the places we travel really have to be worth separating from those things. My wife and I know ourselves well enough to know what we like about our lives and what we don't get enough of in our everyday experience (nature, quiet, small-town charms, dirt-road running, and lake-swimming, to name a few), so we generally do try to include those things in our plans. No vacations to other people's bucket-list destinations--go where you feel called to go!
